Jordan Walsh finished Sunday’s 103-98 loss to Philadelphia with 18 points (7-of-14 FGs), seven rebounds, two assists, two blocks, and four 3-pointers in 31 minutes.
Walsh’s final action in Las Vegas was good overall, as the 2023 second-round pick shot 50% from the field and made more than half of his seven 3-point attempts. Add in the rebounds and blocked shots; this was a solid way for him to head into the offseason. The turnovers (six) were problematic, but that isn’t something to be too concerned about. Walsh’s role in summer league did not align with his likely role once the regular season begins, as Boston will have most of its rotation from last season’s title team back in uniform. Walsh’s best path to consistent playing time is to defend his position well, as the Celtics have more than enough scorers.
